Flock's whole thing is that they argue their system does not need a warrant and they claim this is a settled issue. Very hard to overstate the importance that a federal judge has said this is not the case. Flock's CEO just said it was "pretty cut and dry"

The new decision also immediately invalidates the core argument that Flock’s CEO Garrett Langley has made saying that Flock was not a constitutional issue. “You and I don’t get to pick what’s a constitutional violation and what’s not. We have judges, we have elected officials, there’s a process for that. We follow the law, we follow the Constitution. So far, in our belief and what will be for a long time, the courts have deemed this is not a warrantless search; this is a valid product as it relates to the Fourth Amendment. So I don’t see any change there,” Langley told The Drive in July, adding the issue was “pretty cut and dry.”

Notably, Hill suggested that other courts that have ruled Flock searches do not constitute a Fourth Amendment search were likely wrong to do so, and that they have not considered the widespread and automated context of the AI-powered surveillance system.

This is an incredibly important decision, and the judge is requiring the court to throw out all evidence obtained against her. Judge wrote Flock’s network is “a type of indiscriminate mass surveillance” and that courts must update their understanding of the technology

“The Fourth Amendment requires courts to draw a line when the cost is too great. Alaniz’s search in just the ALPR system provided him with more than 50 individual records of Kyle’s whereabouts across the country for an entire month,” Hill wrote. “The Court finds that because the ALPR systems Alaniz used to search Kyle’s historical location information intruded on her reasonable expectation of privacy in the whole of her physical movements, it was a search under the Fourth Amendment. Based on the information in the record, the only reason Alaniz conducted that search was because he saw her license plate was from California.”

A camp for oilfield workers near Snyder, 1949. Sort of a man camp, I reckon, but for roughnecks and tool pushers who had families. Think of how many times variations on this have played out in Texas! That little kid probably had to manufacture his own fun, from his own imagination, I'm guessing.

My Brother 5040 laser printer is history. After 25 years of faithful, flawless service Apple's latest MacOS upgrade phased out the old drivers, themselves not updated in 10 years. Part of ridding itself of all things Intel, I think. Time for a NEW Brother printer. Can print from the phone then, too!
